Did your mom ever show you how to do makeup?

Or talk to you about boys or dating?
Talk to you about yourself as a young lady?
About what to expect from relationships, how to respect yourself..?
Hold you/comfort you when you were sad?
Do girls nights together?


I longed for any of those things. Unfortunately , never had or got even one.
I didn't even wear any makeup, until I was 17. Most girls now are applying it by 11 or 12 years old. I wonder how much more of life I could live with ease, with confidence etc. if any need or want had actually been filled by my 'mother'. It really makes me sad , but I'm trying to push onward and upward in any way.

My mom did teach me about makeup. She even held me down and plucked my eyebrows when I was 13.

But she was not nurturing. Very critical.
